Hello. In researching the Swain line of early Massachusetts and also researching early Quakers this text is most helpful but be cautious and check the data against authoritative texts such as (for example) Savage and Vital Records for that period. In my casual browsing I found several errors when making these type of fact cross-checks. Although my sample size was small the errors were immediately present which suggests further errors through-out. With that being said the religious history of this era is fascinating and worth the research for background understanding alone.

I am so happy to be able to download a book that contains my families history and have it be so like the original book. I've tried to get a copy of the book but to no avail. Therefore finding this is a blessing.

Thank you so much,
